Right eye color fundus photo of 57 year old male, diagnosed with both eyes high risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Posterior pole reveals Neovascularization of disc (NVD) with extensive fibrovascular proliferations (FVPs) overlying the disc and along the arcades. We can also see a florid network of neovascularization (NVEs), with veins showing looping and beading changes. Hard exudates and dot-blot hemorrhages were seen at the macula.
